{"abstract":"EPA is correcting the text of a regulatory exclusion from the regulatory definition of solid waste for recovered oil which is inserted into the petroleum refining process. The current text of the exclusion contains a factual error as to the location in the refining process at which recovered oil can be inserted. The result of this error is to inappropriately restrict legitimate recycling of recovered oil. The corrected rule also in fact reflects the result EPA initially intended, which was to condition the exclusion of recovered oil on that oil being reinserted into the petroleum refining process at a point where that process removes or will remove at least some contaminants. In the proposed rules Section of today's Federal Register, EPA is proposing this identical correction and soliciting public comment on this correction. If adverse comments are received, EPA will withdraw this direct final rule and address the comments in a subsequent final rule. EPA will not provide additional opportunity for comment on the correction.","action":"Direct final rule.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY","name":"Environmental Protection Agency","id":145,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/environmental-protection-agency","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/145","parent_id":null,"slug":"environmental-protection-agency"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/1996/03/26/96-7275.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":261,"title":40}],"citation":"61 FR 13103","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"This final action will become effective on May 28, 1996, unless EPA is notified by April 9, 1996, that any person wishes to submit adverse comment.
